I love the food here but for some reason they were “too busy” to take my order.. that’s the weirdest answer I’ve ever had.. “we’re too busy at the moment” nice

I'm not a religious man, but I feel BLESSED to live within walking distance of the Federal. Food, service, and atmosphere each are an unmitigated five stars. Whether a mid-workday break for deliciousness or weekend brunch with appreciative friends, the Federal is my spot.

Thought I would love it, but unfortunately did not meet my expectations. After a forty minute wait for a table during peak brunch time, we got seated in a pretty private area in the back. The restaurant is small so we expected to wait even longer.The brunch menu is short so I picked the Gold Standard Sandwich. I don't know what I was expecting, but it's really just a breakfast sandwich. I chose the bacon option (kale and impossible meat also available) and it was ... burned? Not sure if it was intentional but it definitely tasted very burnt. Otherwise the sandwich was pretty ordinary to me. The rosti was extremely oily and not seasoned evenly - one of my bites was essentially coated in salt, while others were bland. I didn't end up finishing.I tried a bite of my friend's breakfast burrito and it was good. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing. The price was good, we didn't get any extras so I stayed under $20 including tax and tip. Service was also good, I just didn't enjoy the food.

Really cute and cozy location with a vintage decor and atmosphere. The portion sizes are great and filling. The ingredients are all fresh and good quality. Had the eggs federal (benedict) and the Cubano. Both were really nice. The Cubano didn't really taste like a Cubano but it was a nice breakfast sandwich and I can recommend it.

This place has my heart. Food is always amazing, clearly staff enjoy what they are doing and the vibe overall gets you nostalgic even though it is very modern. If I could give this place 6 stars, I would give it without any hesitation. Amazing.

Had some of the best mussels ever! Delicious broth, plenty to eat, and great price. Thanks guys!
Great place! Brunch was delicious (who doesn’t love a rosti?), and reasonably priced for Toronto. Very hopping for brunch, so expect a bit of a wait. Staff are friendly, and don’t rush you at all despite the crowd. Will definitely be going back.

Beautiful vintage plates and cutlery, amazing atmosphere. Beautiful little shop. Lots of worn wood accents, exposed brick.Didn't *LOVE* my food but it was good. Ordered a breakfast burrito, which was sweet? No indication on the menu that it would have anything apple-like in it.Cream of potato & leek soup also had an odd choice of spice in it. Couldn't place it but it tasted like white wine.Like I said, good, but an odd choice of spice is the only way I can describe it.Definitely willing to try the rest of the menu! I've had the Gold Standard breakfast sandwich many times and it's the best breakfast sandwich around!

Love a nice lunch (burger is so darn good) on a Friday , or brunch here on a lazy weekend. The food is always out of this world and I love the vibe of the place.
